Meeting God

by: Author Unknown, Source Unknown

There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was a

long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies

and a six-pack of root beer and he started his journey.

When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was

sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down

next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from

his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he

offered her a Twinkie. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him.

Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he

offered her a root beer. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was

delighted ! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they

never said a word.

As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to

leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around,

ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest

smile ever. When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time

later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She

asked him, " What did you do today that made you so happy? " He replied,

" I had lunch with God. " But before his mother could respond, he added,

" You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen! "

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home.

Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked,

" Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy? " She replied,

" I ate Twinkies in the park with God. " But before her son responded,

she added, " You know, he's much younger than I expected. "
